Description

Yuu Hinata is a young boy who is endowed with the gift of predicting the future. One day he prevents an accident that almost befalls Mizuno, a girl who studies with Yuu in the same private school. Shortly thereafter a mysterious young woman appears, saying that it was Mizuno's destiny to die and that Yuu's actions changed the balance of life and death. Soon the heroes become involved in the world of supernatural grim reapers, and discover their own unique powers.

Love Death 555! Realtime Lovers is the fifth entry in the series. Its gameplay is for the most part similar to that of the previous installments, incorporating two main modes: a visual novel (though with cel-shaded animated 3D characters) that unfolds automatically and occasionally allows the player to make decisions, and an exploration mode, during which the player navigates a character through 3D environments from either third- (default) or first-person perspective. The player can switch to this mode at any time by interrupting the flow of the visual novel. As before, the player can search for items, manage outfits and inventory of the female characters, and have detailed interactive sex with them either by gradually building up relationships or physically assaulting them.

The free mode, accessed from the main menu, contains such explorations only, without any story. The player can choose to control the main protagonist, any of the female characters, or even animals such as a cat or a cow. There are more item types in this installment, and more emphasis on combat. The player can buy melee and ranged weapons and attack any of the characters in the game world.

Also new to the series is a multiplayer mode. Players can engage in virtual combat and sexual activities, seducing or assaulting any other male or female avatars and characters in the game world. It is also possible to drive vehicles; two players can move between locations by sharing the same car.
